Anyone heard any of their albums?

I'm thinking of getting Simple Things and Air.
Are they the kind of thing you can listen to over and over or do they get a bit boring after a while?

Think you might be a bit mixed up. Air is the band 10000Hz is the album. Its not the best one I would get Moon Safari, its a great album. Followed by Premiere Symptomes. Moon Safari is a classic album, if you like this stuff try Daft Punk and M83 (thats bands not albums)

Thanks for that - I must admit I was having a hard time working it out from the HMV site...

Nearly forgot.......Massive attack..........blue lines another great album

What I'm looking for is real chill out music.
What put me on to Zero 7 is a track on the Cafe Del Mar album and a track of theirs was played on one of the music channels the other night.

Had a listen to Moon Safari - sounds good but a few of the tracks are a little bit upbeat, if you get my drift.
I'm going to get it though and probably 10000Hz as there are a few tracks on there I like the sound of too.

Thanks for the heads up on the other artists - I'll check them out.

Try Morcheeba................Big Calm or Portishead or Groove Armada

I've got Simple things by Zero 7. Excellent album. Im going to investigate all of their other stuff on the strength of that album.
Some of the tracks are very laid back and its a great album to pop on and relax to after a hard day.

Air - Talkie Walkie is better than 10000Hz

[Crustyloafer]

Also try anything by Boards Of Canada, absolutely outstanding.

Thanks guys.
Lots of suggestions there and more than enough to be getting on with.
HMV are doing 3 for £20 on their web site and a lot of these albums qualify so very cheap buys.

Premiere Symptomes is a better chill out album than 10000hz legend IMHO (although it is very short). You might also want to consider the OST for "The Virgin Suicides" which was done by Air as well- it is a bloody good album.

[Brogan]

Well I've just ordered Simple Things, Moon Safari and one by Morcheeba (best of I think).
That should keep me busy for a week or two and give me an idea of what it is I like best.
Total price including postage was £21.60 from HMV.co.uk so about £7 per CD which is not too bad.

Thanks again for all the suggestions guys.
